Compatibility
Due to the compatibility mode, older device versions can be replaced by the new devices
(firmware 2.0.0) without having to change the configuration.
The devices with firmware 2.0.0 can be operated in compatibility mode by using the IODD for
the device with firmware 1.4.0. The device will have the functions of firmware 1.4.0. The
device with firmware version 2.0.0 is downward-compatible with all earlier versions.
To be able to use the new features of firmware update 2.0.0, you need the electronics
module as hardware for the ID key-operated switch with the development status E03 (this
data can be found on the module) and the current IODD for this device. You can then
operate this device in normal mode and you will have all of the features at your disposal.
Compatibility mode
The compatibility mode can be activated by parameterizing the port of the IO-Link Master
(e.g. in PCT) with an appropriate IODD.
Switching the device to compatibility mode:
●
Parameterize the port of the IO-Link Master with the IODD that was provided for the
original ID key (Firmware version 1.4.0).
Switching the device to normal mode:
●
Parameterize the port of the IO-Link Master with the IODD that was provided for the
ID key 2 (Firmware version 2.0.0).
The device with firmware 2.0.0 is operated in:
IODD file name
Normal mode
Siemens-SIRIUS-3SU1-ID2-ReleaseDate-IODD1.(0.)1.xml
Compatibility mode
Siemens-SIRIUS-3SU1-ID-ReleaseDate-IODD1.(0.)1.xml
It is recommended that you operate the device in normal mode if there is no reason for
compatibility mode.
Reason for compatibility mode:
If the user has installed the ID key and a failure occurs on this module, the module can be
replaced by the new ID key with the product version E03. This can be done without manual
parameterization if the data storage is activated on the port of the IO-Link Master. The ID key
(with product version E03) is executed after the replacement in compatibility mode. The
same parameter format and no new functions.
